The Bianconeri boss thinks his side has to change the way it plays if it is to overturn a 2-0 deficit to Bayern Munich and advance to the Champions League semifinals.

Juventus coach Antonio Conte has said that his team will have to approach the Champions League quarterfinal second leg in a different manner as it did to the first against Bayern Munich.

The Serie A leader lost 2-0 in Germany to the newly crowned Bundesliga champion and has to overturn the deficit if it is to progress to the semifinals.

“They showed all their strength in the first leg. We have the desire and the serenity to face this second leg, but we also want to play differently to the way we played last week,” Conte said at his pre-match press conference. "We'll try to play like Juve, aware that we're playing a very strong Bayern, but this gives us even more stimulation and even more motivation to try to pull it off."

Conte added that Juventus is well on its way to replicating the success Bayern has had in recent years and is looking to emulate the German giant.

"If you want to find a skyscraper which is already constructed, then that is Bayern. Let’s say that we are a third of the way to building our own skyscraper,” Conte said.
